Festina was founded by the Stüdi family in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1902. The brand has stayed true to its Swiss heritage, despite being based in Barcelona, Spain, since the second world war, by using precise and reliable Swiss-made movements. The name Festina comes from the Latin phrase ‘festina lente’ which means ‘make haste, slowly’. This encompasses the brand’s philosophy of consistently progressing within the watch industry but taking enough time to ensure that each timepiece is designed and built to an impressively high standard. Core Features of a Festina Watch: Festina produce watches in a wide range of designs, including chronographs, dress watches, and smartwatches. Each of the watches has been created with high-quality materials, but the brand ensures that each of their timepieces remains affordable. Festina uses a variety of movements in the watches, including both quartz and automatic mechanisms, to make sure that there is a perfect Festina model for every collector. All of the watches have a level of water resistance that makes them suitable for everyday wear.
